Bing United PressStaff Correspondent.)Vienna. (By mail.) In view oftlie general shortage of coal here thequestion of the production of otherfael has again become extremely impoitant. Special attention in finan-cial circles is being paid to oil 'andpetroleum which eastern Europeused to produce in abundance.The exportation and the equal andjudicious distribution of the materialhowever is 'rendered particularly dif-ficult today by the exceptionallygrave politiiul situation of the pro-ducing countries as well as by tin-'devastations of which this territorywas Ithe theater. This refers aboveall to tli r oil wells of Galicia andrtoumanif while the oil occurrencesof Baku on the Caspian sea andKerkuk-Ohanikin still deserve thegreatest Attention in the far east.The extraordinary abundance of thelatter's products was one of the 'prin-cipal reasons why the British navalcraft was reconstructed for oil heat-ing.
